Bequests
A bequest is as simple as it is powerful; with a few words in your will, you can continue to be an advocate for a green and peaceful future beyond your lifetime. Chances are even after you have made adequate provisions for your family an friends, you can have a bigger impact than you ever thought possible — and you don't have to be wealthy to do it!
Best of all, when you make a bequest, you will have the good feeling of having done something significant for Greenpeace — and you'll never see the difference in your bank balance. No other kind of donation gives you this privilege.
